Under Eye Filler for Deep Under Eye Hollows

WORTH IT
Deep under eye hollows are a family trait. I had them filled, in a five minute procedure, in the Dr. office, with hyaluronic acid (which is something the body naturally produces, is my understanding). It is dissolvable, in case of over correction, which makes it low risk. I went in a couple weeks later for the rest of the syringe, as it’s typically done with half a syringe, then wait to see how it settles, and, if need be, you can go back after a couple of weeks to get the rest. I had bruising the first time, but not the second. I went on my lunch break and then straight back to work afterwards with a little concealer over bruising. After the second round, I had noticeable swelling over the weekend (I had it done on a Fri) but it settled by the Mon. Also, when I would go swimming with snug swim goggles on, it would move the filler around from the suction, which would last the rest of the day. Hyaluronic avid typically lasts 6-12 months, but unfortunately my body broke it down quite quickly. My lasted a couple months (maybe 4, if I remember correctly). The Dr. said we would use a different product next time which would last longer but we’d have to be careful with the amount used. I assume whatever that product is, it will not be dissolvable. Will update when I get it!
